Kimberley Scriven Recorder
Kimberley Scriven has studied the recorder in the Historically
Informed Performance Department at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music since
2012. In 2015 Kimberley achieved first place in the renowned Historically Informed
Performance Concerto Competition. Kimberley’s performances are inspired by the
stylistic language and theatrical nature of Baroque music. Through historical
research Kimberley draws on the rhetorical style of the composer to inform her
own musical interpretation.
Kimberley began her musical
education as a student of the Riverina Conservatorium of Music, winning the
Major Woodwind Scholarship and prestigious Dr Ray King Scholarship. She went on
to teach at the Riverina Conservatorium and engage with the Wagga Wagga
community through music and radio presenting. As a result of her community
involvement, Kimberley was presented with the Young Citizen of the Year Award
for Wagga Wagga in 2010 and was nominated for an Order of Australia Medal.
After finishing her
tertiary education at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music this year, Kimberley
plans to pursue further study in Europe to develop her technique and
performance skills. In the future, Kimberley aspires to perform in a chamber
group which shares her enthusiasm for the Baroque and make Baroque music
accessible to audiences, especially those in regional Australia.
